[QUOTE="infrared, post: 1451496, member: 68615"] SurvivorGuy, The only other cause that I can imagine for a "leak" may be caused by the type of gear oil that you use. Yamaha makes a special gear oil for the FJR Final Drive, specifically to resist the shearing action of the hypoid gears. Other oils may possibly cause foaming, or other problems, but we can't say that for sure. You need very little FD oil for each FD oil change, so I suggest using the Yamaha product, if you are not using it already.
